Hollywood Delays Voting On Project

October 29, 1986|By DAVID JACKSON, Staff Writer

HOLLYWOOD -- Faced with the threat of a lawsuit, Hollywood commissioners backed off approving a proposed downtown redevelopment project caught in the middle of a zoning dispute between the city, county and nearby residents.

After hearing objections from an attorney representing residents of the Lakes neighborhood, commissioners postponed action on the proposed Elio DiBiase project until Nov. 12.

In the interim, commissioners said they would consult with their legal and planning staff to gain a better understanding of the legalities surrounding the proposal.

DiBiase was seeking a series of variances that would have allowed him to start his project while the city resolved the zoning dispute with officials from Broward County.
